1. I should have mentioned in my last HFCD update that HFCD 3 now supports Flex SDK 3.2.0, 3.3.0, 3.4.1 and 3.5.0.

2. Before this update, developers needed to ‘close and reopen’ their projects in their Flex Builder workspace in order to ‘upload’ source files to HFCD. Now, the ‘close and reopen’ step is mostly optional – HFCD automatically pulls missing source files from the Flex Builder workspace before building.

3. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it but there is a preference dialog for configuring the HFCD Eclipse plugin. I highly recommend that you enable both plugin options (Disable ‘Build Automatically on startup and Save HFCD build data on exit) in the dialog.

4. HFCD monitors its memory usage periodically and automatically save build data to cache files when the JVM heap usage is high. I’ve added the following to the pull-down menu of ‘HFCD View’:

see the memory usage of HFCD at any moment

override the memory monitor and instruct HFCD to immediately save all the build data to disk.

I think this is the most stable build I’ve ever had, so please give this a try.

It is important that you uninstall the previous version of HFCD before installing this HFCD update. Make sure that the HFCD Eclipse plugin is disabled and removed.

Ok, i was able to install it from the zip using my own sdk. I copied the sdk to both directories, client & server, and ran the ant build (with download & unzip commented out). Therafter i added the client as the sdk. Compilation in FlexBuilder triggers the compiler just fine, as i can see from the console output.

However, one of my library projects doesn’t compile. The error is “can’t find source for class …”. It compiles fine with a normal sdk. Is there a option to get more detailed errors?

I am trying to use HFCD in my projects. I am using the 02/02/2010 prerelease version of FlashBuilder 4. As far as I am aware I installed the latest version of HFCD 4.0.0 using the installer. I switch my projects to use the HFCD 4.0.0 compiler, start the server, close project, reopen it, perform a clean and a rebuild.

Unfortunately on every project I try this on I get the following error

Thanks for testing HFCD. I don’t think omit-trace-statements is supported in Gumbo beta2, which is the version HFCD currently supports. As soon as there is a new official Gumbo release, I’ll move HFCD to support it.

When I run “Generate Apache Ant build.xml”, it simply opens a file populated with “null”. While I have been able to successfully figure out, via your different articles, how to setup remote builds… I cannot seem to figure this one out. I am extremely excited for the potential of your product with our team. We build large scale 15+ module flex applications and _any_ improvement in build time would be awesome. A large scale project comes with a larger team so generation of the build.xml would help with adoption. Thank you!
